Are microchip implants the mark of the beast?

Microchips are under the skin, and the mark is imposed by a false prophet from a false religion. The word MARK by no means implies something under the skin but an IMPRESSION upon it.

Yes under the skin.. In the hand or in the forehead. As the Word of God reveals:::.

Revelation 13: KJV
15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {16} And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: {17} And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

Good points.

My suspicion is that 5G technology will play a part. 5G is in the the microwave zone and is highly interactive with physical objects....possibly even brain waves and mind control.

Already known how to do that, and continuously being improved.
It begins (with children) with indoctrination and punishment for not trusting the indoctrination.
And technology furthers the control, already advanced with capabilities to control ones mind.

The Good news is;
God does not seek to control a mans MIND. God is after the thoughts of a mans HEART that believes in Him!

The urgent new is;
Men do not know what day they shall die, or the day Christ will return - Thus they decided their own risk to die with or without God.

The Good news is: Once a man submits to God, NO ONE can take that man AWAY from God. (Mind control, Satan himself.... NONE have the POWER greater than God to take a man from God).

The Good news is; Men submitted unto God ARE ALREADY MARKED with Gods Name - it doesn't matter that you can not physically see what already is.

God Bless,
SBC

I have heard this a lot in Revelations and saw some YouTube videos concerning microchips having to do with the mark of the beast. Is this true?

Short answer? Not true.

Long answer? Definitely not true.

The mark of the beast, as described, indicates allegiance with the beast--knowing allegiance. I personally don't believe it is a literal, physical mark at all; but even if it were it would have to be something in which doing so was a deliberate act of allegiance with the beast.

A sub-dermal microchip, on its own, is not that.

Yes, it could well be a microchip. This would make sense if the second beast is the USA. What alternative is there if it isn't a microchip?

That it's not a literal, physical mark at all.

In the Torah God speaks of His people as having a sign on their right hand and between their eyes, in Exodus 13,

"Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen in your possession, and no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory. You shall tell your child on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ It shall serve for you as a sign on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead, so that the teaching of the Lord may be on your lips; for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt. You shall keep this ordinance at its proper time from year to year." - Exodus 13:7-10

And again also in Deuteronomy 6,

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." - Deuteronomy 6:4-9

These are the reasons why the Pharisees wore phylacteries, by the way. The meaning here is that God's people have His Law as a sign for them on their right hand and forehead, not a literal physical sign, but a spiritual one.

In the Revelation it also speaks of God's people being marked,

"I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea, saying, 'Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads.'" - Revelation 7:2-3

I would, in reference to the seal of God's people, point back to what St. Paul has written in Ephesians,

"In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit," - Ephesians 1:13

In the Revelation it serves here a contrast between those whose identity and allegiance is found in and with Christ, and those whose identity and allegiance is with the Beast. It isn't a matter of a physical mark, but rather whose side one is on; one cannot confess both Christ and Caesar; either Christ is Lord or Caesar is lord.

I do not believe that the KJV lets us down.. I believe it is the inspired word of God.

Of course not. Revelation was just a message to the persecuted Christians at the time, as a message of hope that the Roman Empire would fall.

Sad you do not believe that God has the power to guide translators to translate His Word into English under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.. God is well able to make His WORD known in all languages.. Indeed all Languages are creations of God himself..

But Revelation was even specifically addressed to leaders of specifically named Church tribes that existed then, but no longer exist now. And the beast was Nero (the "number of the beast being the number of a man" were the numbers of Nero's name). It's clearly meant for the past.

I feel like people just hold onto a futurist view because they want it to be a herald of the future. They want it to signify there will be a new heaven and new Earth and that Jesus will come again. Even though all evidence from the Bible writers specifically state that they expected Jesus's coming in their lifetimes, sooner than anticipated, right at the door, one (Paul or Peter, forget which) said it wasn't even good to marry because there'd be no point since Christ's coming was so close.

People project a futurist view of Revelation because it gives them hope.

After reading some things about Nero, I came away thinking that he made (sorry to Godwin the thread, here) Hitler look like Mother Theresa. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Nero was the Beast/AntiChrist figure.

It won't be long and Islam will again authenticate Itself as Babylon the Great, the harlot of Babylon, the religion of the two horned beast, and prophesied evil religion of the last days. How many of you will listen to the signs and see it?
It's Islam, now?
It's rather hard to listen to/see the signs when they keep getting changed on us. ¬_¬

He's probably a better Christian than you and I. How judgmental of you.

If you truly think that then that shows me you lack knowledge of what Christianity really is.. When it comes to Christianity one is either a Christian or they are not.. There is no ""better"" or lesser.. One is either saved by the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ or they are not..


God is God and therefore infallible and able to protect His Word..
The pope is a human being and thus is fallible..
I am amazed you could not see the difference between God and a faulty man..


There are several BIG mistakes in every translation of the bible. The NKJV is more accurate. Every translation reflects the bias of the translators.

Sorry but your statements now have no effect on me.. Once you declared the pope to be a superior Christian you lost all credibility with me..
